About

The 3rd New York State Elder Abuse Summit seeks to create a plan to better connect with and serve underserved populations including Black/African American, Latinx, LGBTQ+, Native American, New American/Immigrant/Refugee, Rural older adults.

We need your input - especially if you are a member of one of the targeted populations. We’re also seeking input from professionals in the field of elder abuse or aging, law enforcement, or the courts or from those who simply have an interest in the topic.

This virtual Summit is sponsored by Lifespan of Greater Rochester Inc. and the NYS Office of Victim Services.
